The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 26 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

11 Years old! And: Still one of the best Twin-Stick-Shooter with a Spelunker Twist. Explore caverns, rescue fellow Astronauts and find the hidden Diamonds (unlock currency) to open up new Main Areas. Each Level is in itself a little Puzzle / Riddle (me this). How to solve / traverse the Level. There are hidden Events you may trigger. Like spawning enemies or an avalanche of red hot Lava that may burn up cheeky placed Astronauts and ruin you perfect run. My only grip with PJ Shooter Ultimate is the lack of an Newtonian physics or some good o'le Franklin's Gravity. But hey you can't hav' it all? Right! I played this on the PS3 dozens of Hours, bought it on Steam in a Sale and forget about it. Man, time flies... and stops for no one... The Game runs perfect fluid in 1080p / 60 FPS. The Controls with a pad, are on point and without any lag. 9/10 for €9,- Bucks a steal... on Sale a-must-buy-for-shooter-fans. BTW / FYI: (RANT ON) My new 8Bitdo Ultimate 2c Wireless gamepad features Hall-Effect Joysticks. Meaning in my opinion, smooth Sailing with Twin-Stick-Shooter. (and anything else) I had two Dual Sense Pads by Sony over the last two years. Every each one of them got the Stick-Drift disease or much more worst, the sudden (bowl)Movement (like ADHD restless Leg) Syndrom. The 8bitdo is around 30 Bucks. As an alternative: There is the Turtlebeach Afterglow Wave Wired Gaming Controller for €50,- Bucks. (RANT OFF) Thank you for reading, be well, take care,

Прикольная игрушка на пару часиков не больше
Good game. Gameplay loop is fun. I like saving the scientist people. Very nice balance between arcadey mechanics and more modern style. Also nostalgia because I remember playing this for hours on my playstation four as a young creature. Steam says that only Xbox controllers are supported but the Steam input thing makes the controls exactly how they are on the playstation so dw. Very replayable with the collectables and secrets. The bosses are challenging and interesting. Puzzle mechanics are present but feel natural and open-ended to a degree which I really like. Have not tried the pvp (because I only just found this on steam and I think the ps4 multiplayer servers shut down before I knew what they were). Overall: criminally underrated and unknown for something so dear to my heaert.
万人向けではない、それなりの腕前と根気がクリアに必要です。特にステージ4~6は時間制限のある仕掛けが多く楽しむ事は出来ません。ボス戦も無駄に長く、失敗すると最初からの苦行。途中で嫌になっちゃいました。 PixelJunk Shooterを持っている人は続きから遊べますが、ボスに勝利の実績が欲しいのならボス戦だけは再度戦う必要があります。
Very buggy, had a lot of issues in five minutes.

Very fun in single player but especially in co-op.
Underrated Gem! Incredible Co op
great 2 player fun, gives me nostalgia to when i played this on the ps3 back in the day
It's an enjoyable twin stick shooter with physics based puzzles that I hope it gets a metroidvania style sequel (this one is not that). It deserved more success than it received I would say. I don't love the art direction and perhaps the controls could be tightened up a little, but you can't go wrong if you like these kinds of games.
